Umar Bin Abd Al-Aziz (R)
Dr. Ali Muhammad Sallabi
Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 733 | Size: 29 MB
This book describes, among other things, the principles based upon which
Umar ibn ‘Abd Al-‘Aziz governed the Muslims during his caliphate; among
those principles were mutual consultation, justice, equality among
people and honoring of freedoms.
With the turn of every page, the reader will come to appreciate the fact
that ‘Umar was exceptional in his Faith, distinguished in his
knowledge, profoundly wise in his thinking, remarkable in his eloquence,
noble in his manners and great in the contribution he made to this
Nation.
English readers have long been deprived of the life story of this
outstanding Islamic hero and exemplar. While there are some short and
scattered accounts about his general life, this is the first book to
deal specifically with Umar bin `Abdul-Azeez’s reforms, which is
surprising given that he has been attributed the title of Mujaddid
(reformer/reviver) within Islamic scholarship, in great detail.
